A teenager protecting a fragile secret
Seventeen-year-old Jesse’s life is shaped by a sharp divide: he is homeless and camping in the forest with his mother and younger sister, yet he works to maintain everyday routines and keep his circumstances hidden. Schoolwork, laundry, and showering become part of that effort, while the redwood tree above his camp offers a vantage point beyond the difficulties below. The story’s central tension emerges when someone at school begins to uncover what Jesse has kept private, bringing poverty, family responsibility, and the desire for ordinary teenage privacy into the same frame.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
From atop a towering redwood tree, seventeen-year-old Jesse can see beyond the difficult reality of his life on the ground. Homeless, Jesse camps in the forest with his drug-addicted mom and little sister. Diligent about showering, doing laundry, and school work, Jesse is determined to keep his circumstances a secret. But one girl cares enough to find out the truth.
